"Now that you have accepted to help me, here is what I want you to do. It is almost 9:30PM. I want you to step out and get me a couple of beers from the wine shop next to the movie theater."
Her heart started to race again. "Beer? At this time of the day? All alone?" These questions were giving her a fright.
On the other hand, the mention of "that theater" made her remember her "adventure" and got her all excited.
She slowly checked on Amit and he is in deep sleep. She thought about the situation again and again. Should she go ahead with this or chicken out to be safe? What would happen if she does not go through with this? Sid might even stop talking to her. She does not want to lose a friend., especially after she caused him harm. She was completely lost in her thoughts.
One thing was certain. She does not want the friendship to end , not like this.
She made up her mind and slowly walked into the bed room and opened the almirah without making any sound.
She picked up the "old man" suite with over sized wind jacket, the hat to hide her long hair, the shoes, over sized pants etc.
She was surprised when she realized that she was getting wet down there.
After getting ready as an old man, she checked on Amit again and stepped out satisfied that he is still sleeping.
She took the stairs to avoid meeting people in the elevator. As soon as she reached the ground floor, she looked around and found a few men at the gate. She cursed her luck. She checked on her mobile the timing of the wine shop near her apartment and it showed it closes at 10PM. She could not wait any longer as the wine shop will close soon. She wanted to walk past them but more men showed up. She had to wait in the darkness of the parking lot for a bit more.
After 15 minutes, people started to leave that place and so Ruby walked very fast and kept her head low. She walked past the folks at the gate and they did not pay any attention to her.
Once on the street, she was relieved and started walking very fast towards the theater. The streets were dark and she made sure to avoid the street lights and to stay in the dark while walking.
Her heart rate was through the roof. Last time she was there, Amit wasn't home. But this time it is different and it is adding to the excitement. She is scared to death at the same time.
As soon as she approached the wine shop, she realized the last one hour is the busiest as folks want to get their drink before it closes for the day. There were too many people trying to buy their drinks.
She realized there is no way she can go past them to the counter. She realized the situation she is in. Sid did this on purpose, to put her in this situation.
Not wanting to go back empty handed, she looked around and could only see low class people yelling and pushing each other to get to the counter.
She noticed that there was a small alley way next to the shop that leads to the back of the shop. It is so dark and she could not see much.
She stayed in the dark and was noticing people. She was afraid that someone might recognize her.
